Many times during auditions, I was told that I couldn't carry a note with a bucket, and that I sure couldn't play the piano.

I think that most great artists who are extremely known, as I am, would intimidate a lot of people. I don't want to do that to people, but I know I do.

I'm a firm believer in God himself, but that's as far as I can go. I'm not any denomination. I'm not Catholic or Presbyterian or Baptist or Methodist or Jewish or Muslim. I'm none of those things. And I'm sure that's just fine with God.

My mom taught me a lot. A lot about minding your own business and leaving other people's business alone. And let them think what they want.

Drunken talk isn’t meant to be printed in the paper.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder and tears are only rain to make love grow.

The fact of the matter is, you don't give up what's natural. Anything I've fantasized about, I've done.
